Tomasz Szalony Reporter Matysiak announced on X that he will pay up to PLN 50,000 for key information about the attackers who hit his flat with an axe and butyric acid.
Public offer: money for concrete evidence
In his latest video, the creator laid out the rewards precisely:
- PLN 50,000 – for identifying the people responsible for the attack.
- PLN 10,000 – for a very important piece of information that speeds up the investigation.
- PLN 10,000 – for footage of two men who fled at night along Kotlarska Street towards Grzegórzecki Roundabout in Kraków; one of them allegedly took off his hood and balaclava at that point.
Matysiak has also launched an “offer for Flip and Flap” – if any of the attackers reveals who commissioned the attack, they will receive five times what they were allegedly offered for “this job”, and without involving the police.
Why the reward may speed up the case
The power of crowdsourcing
The police confirm that the “reward effect” often increases the flow of tips. Residents of the estate have their own dashcams and intercom cameras – any one of them may contain the missing frame.
Internal pressure
Offering a bigger payout to the perpetrators themselves strikes at criminal solidarity – it discourages silence and encourages cooperation with the victim.
How to report information
Video or photo materials can be sent directly to Szalony Reporter at the email address: szalony.tancula@gmail.com.
What is known so far from the investigation
| Finding | Status | Next steps |
|---|---|---|
| Estate monitor recorded the attack | Secured | Analysis of image and sound by the Forensic Laboratory |
| Escape route (Kotlarska Street) | Identified | Collecting footage from city surveillance |
| Substance on the door | Suspected: butyric acid | Chemical expert analysis will confirm toxicity |
The line between a virtual dispute and a real threat has already been crossed. Now Szalony Reporter is trying to turn the tables: he is using his own popularity and funds to find the people behind the attack on his flat. If the reward works, the answer to the question “who was pulling the strings” may come sooner than many expect.
